Cyclebetes 2010 – Mississauga Community Ride
Scouters for a Cure (l-r) Glen, Larry, Ron, Nancy, Ron, Larry, David
Shortly after 9am Sunday morning with the rain coming down light and steady the 7 of us headed out on our 50km adventure to help raise awareness and $ for Diabetes Research.
Despite the rain, we all had a great ride, though Nancy at times felt left behind by the ‘pack’ =o)
We really had a great ride, and made all the better by the great friends that joined us on our journey.
Here’s a few photos from our day on Facebook.
Can’t wait to do it again next year!

Sara’s Can Crusher
So at the cottage this weekend Sara had to complete her Can Crusher project (simple machines) for Science.
She had the plans all thought out and Grandpa had the tools. So Grandpa and Sara worked together with him showing her how to use all the tools she needed. She did all the work with minimum assistance and only two design mods built an AWESOME Can Crusher!
Oh, and Sara and Grandpa had a LOT of fun!

Government youth project aimed at environmental awareness
WTG Jim Prentice (Environment Minister)!
Government youth project aimed at environmental awareness.
Growing up I spent a HUGE amount of my spare time in and around Georgian Bay Islands National Park as well as many Provincial Parks and Conservation Areas. Those experiences coupled with my journey in Scouting as a youth really helped shape who I am today.
The education, and life skills that are offered in the great out doors is an awesome gift for the youth of today!

H1N1 Panic in the Hundred Acre Wood

This just in… Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood have been seized by H1N1 Panic and taking no chances have isolated and quarantined Piglet!
Pooh’s lovable friend and side-kick was spared no sympathy as many residents are blaming him for the entire swine flu pandemic! Late Friday night (Devil’s Night), Piglet’s friends and neighbours, overcome by the influences of the almost full moon and the media scare tactics surrounding the current H1N1 Pandemic, took it upon themselves to kidnap and isolate their good friend Piglet fearing that they might all contract Swine Flu from their association with their former friend.
Donning n95 surgical masks and vinyl gloves to protect themselves the mob came upon the unsuspecting piglet while he was getting a drink from the neighbourhood well. (more…)

Happy All Hallow’s Eve!
Hallowe’en is here! Now that Aaron’s 4 he’s understanding the ritual much better and very much ‘into’ it!
Sara’s best friends joined Chris, Aaron and her to take him around the street for a while.. Chris met up with a couple of his friends and headed out for an hour of trick-or-treating.
Sara and her crew dropped Aaron back home and mom took him out to finish the street, while I drove the older kids down a few streets to a friends house and left them to their own devices to trick-or-treat their way home..
Great fun was had by all! We didn’t get a large turn out but it picked up a bit and was far from our worst showing…. Happy Hallowe’en everyone!
